Abstract :
The drift tube production facility that we developed for producing precision drift tubes of the ATLAS forward muon system in our laboratory is described in this paper. The results of quality assurance for approximately 30,000 tube produced are given. Our experience shows that this production facility is very efficient and the quality of produced drift tubes is very high.
